I believe you are asking does it look like an ipad /iphone screen, then the answer is no. It looks like the laptop screens that have been around for the last 10 years.

Thanks everyone--I really appreciate your answering! A matte screen is a must have for me and they are getting very hard to find! Can't understand the attraction to those shiny reflective screens! You all have been very helpful!

It's a matte screen, made of a plastic material. Pressing on it changes the brightness in the immediate vicinity. It will reflect some light, but it's definitely not shiny.

Hard to answer......the edges are glossy - the screen when off is matte finish. When turned on, the picture is clear and crisp. We love it and have no complaints.

It is a matte screen. Terrific monitor. I sent the first one back because of a huge white spot in the middle of the screen. Amazon was great in sending out a replacement which is a great monitor.

I would classify the screen as "matte" since there is no reflection off of the screen itself; however, the image on the screen is pretty bright compared to my other monitor--I need to adjust this.

To correct the previous answers...the screen ITSELF is a matte display...however with the touchscreen overlay it will still appear as glossy. So it depends on how you look at it. Figuratively speaking.

Screen is glossy. Does a great job with 3D. 120hz i believe. Have it paired with a Dell laptop- great way to go.

I'm not sure I fully understand the distinction, but I would say there is nothing glossy about it. I see very little glare. The display seems more subdued or muted.

the screen is matte... I LOVE it and have been using it for about 3 months now.

brother or sister, the screen is matte, not glossy. i ordered this notebook a little while ago and it just arrived today, best decision [in regards to electronics] i have ever made, ever. i owned four windows notebooks before purchasing this one, and using this notebook [and mac os] actually simulates the feeling of "a breath of fresh air".

it's glossy - shiny - i like it a lot. there's one bad pixel but for the price, I don't care.

It is a glossy screen. Some people say it does produce reflections which it does when turned off but I have never see had an issue while I was watching it.

Mine appears to be more of a glossy screen. I love it! The only bad thing is there is no DVD/CD drive, so keep that in mind.

The white frame is glossy white...the screen is more matte than glossy, no reflections or shine that I see. Hope this helps!

It is a Matt screen sorry resident see your email. It works great. My other one was glossy and a little brighter. The Matt is nice though. A lot less reflection. Plugs right in pretty easy to install.

The one I was shipped is glossy. However a few sellers for this screen offer both options or state 'based on availability' in the details/description areas. If you have a preference check all the sellers before making a final decision.
